If you like to spice things up when it comes to your early morning tonic, you’re not alone. Most people like something more than the regular coffee to start their day and luckily, you won’t have to spend hours getting it prepared.
French vanilla iced coffee is a taste of deliciousness with a light flavor of French vanilla. This chilled and creamy coffee comes with all the benefits and an even better taste. A bonus is that making it won’t really cost much and won’t take your time at all.
How to Make French Vanilla Iced Coffee: Step-by-step Guide
Things you need
- Insulated cup with ice
- Coffee
- French vanilla coffee creamer
Instructions
- Obviously, you will need coffee and this is actually the longest part of the recipe. Prepare your coffee as usual or if you don’t brew your own coffee, you would have to do so the night before.
- Simply brew a cup of coffee, and let it cool to room temperature. Best of all, brew it the night before and let it sit in the fridge until the morning.
- Fill the cup with ice. You can simply get a cup and put a good number of ice cubes in it. Always go for as much as you can. You only need about an inch of space under the top edge of the cup.
- Pour the cooled coffee over the ice. You can go wild here and add as much as you can but remember to leave an inch of empty space under the top edge of the cup. No need to get your ruler or tape to start making measurements, just make sure that there is enough space for the vanilla creamer.
- Now comes the time to add the French Vanilla creamer. Pour in the creamer until the cup is filled.
- Drinking straight from the cup might not be the best idea as you could make a mess of things. You will need a straw to suck in the coffee. It actually makes it classier. Stick a straw right into the cup and you can enjoy the French Vanilla Iced Coffee.
